Ah yes, forgot about the local boys and the lyrical stylings of Mr. Peart. Neil is from the Niagara region and played in area bands when I was a youngin'.

Check out this pic of young Neil:



Here's another one of a local band called The Majority. Neil is at the top right. The guy to the bottom right is Bob Keep who played keys for the band. I was in a band with Bob from about 1980 to 1983. Funny how the same sweater was worn!
